cascade-lattice 0.5.6

Universal AI provenance layer — cryptographic receipts for every call, with HOLD inference halt protocol

cascade-lattice

Universal AI provenance + inference intervention. See what AI sees. Choose what AI chooses.

pip install cascade-lattice

🎮 Interactive Demo

See CASCADE-LATTICE in action — fly a lunar lander with AI, take control anytime:

pip install cascade-lattice[demo]
cascade-demo

Controls:

• [H] HOLD-FREEZE — Pause time, see AI's decision matrix, override with WASD
• [T] HOLD-TAKEOVER — You fly the lander, AI watches, provenance records everything
• [ESC] Release hold, return to AI control

Every action is merkle-chained. Every decision has provenance. This is the future of human-AI interaction.

Two Superpowers

1. OBSERVE - Cryptographic receipts for every AI call

from cascade.store import observe

# Every inference -> hashed -> chained -> stored
receipt = observe("my_agent", {"action": "jump", "confidence": 0.92})
print(receipt.cid)  # bafyrei... (permanent content address)

2. HOLD - Pause AI at decision points

from cascade.hold import Hold
import numpy as np

hold = Hold.get()

# Your model (any framework)
action_probs = model.predict(state)

resolution = hold.yield_point(
    action_probs=action_probs,
    value=0.72,
    observation={"state": state},
    brain_id="my_model",
    action_labels=["up", "down", "left", "right"],  # Human-readable
)

# AI pauses. You see the decision matrix.
# Accept or override. Then it continues.
action = resolution.action

Quick Start

Zero-Config Auto-Patch

import cascade
cascade.init()

# That's it. Every call is now observed.
import openai
# ... use normally, receipts emit automatically

Manual Observation

from cascade.store import observe, query

# Write
observe("gpt-4", {"prompt": "Hello", "response": "Hi!", "tokens": 5})

# Read
for receipt in query("gpt-4", limit=10):
    print(receipt.cid, receipt.data)

HOLD: Inference-Level Intervention

HOLD lets you pause any AI at decision points:

══════════════════════════════════════════════════
🛑 HOLD #1
   Merkle: 3f92e75df4bf653f
   AI Choice: FORWARD (confidence: 45.00%)
   Value: 0.7200
   Probabilities: FORWARD:0.45, BACK:0.30, LEFT:0.15, RIGHT:0.10
   Wealth: attention, features, reasoning
   Waiting for resolution (timeout: 30s)...
══════════════════════════════════════════════════

Model-agnostic - works with:

• PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow
• HuggingFace, OpenAI, Anthropic
• Stable Baselines, RLlib
• Any function that outputs probabilities

Informational Wealth

Pass everything your model knows to help humans decide:

resolution = hold.yield_point(
    action_probs=probs,
    value=value_estimate,
    observation=obs,
    brain_id="my_model",
    
    # THE WEALTH (all optional):
    action_labels=["FORWARD", "BACK", "LEFT", "RIGHT"],
    latent=model.get_latent(),           # Internal activations
    attention={"position": 0.7, "health": 0.3},
    features={"danger": 0.2, "goal_align": 0.8},
    imagination={                         # Per-action predictions
        0: {"trajectory": ["pos", "pos"], "expected_value": 0.8},
        1: {"trajectory": ["neg", "neg"], "expected_value": -0.3},
    },
    logits=raw_logits,
    reasoning=["High reward path", "Low risk"],
)

Build Your Own Interface

Register a listener to receive full HoldPoint data:

def my_ui_handler(hold_point):
    # hold_point contains ALL the wealth
    print(hold_point.action_labels)
    print(hold_point.imagination)
    # Send to your UI, game engine, logger, etc.

hold.register_listener(my_ui_handler)

Collective Intelligence

Every observation goes into the lattice:

from cascade.store import observe, query

# Agent A observes
observe("pathfinder", {"state": [1,2], "action": 3, "reward": 1.0})

# Agent B queries
past = query("pathfinder")
for r in past:
    print(r.data["action"], r.data["reward"])

Genesis

Every receipt chains back to genesis:

Genesis: 89f940c1a4b7aa65

The lattice grows. Discovery is reading the chain.
